What happens the moment you die?
Most Christians have a vague idea involving clouds and harps.
The Bible is far more specific and far more extraordinary than that.
It also completely dismantles several things most people believe about heaven, hell, and the resurrection.
Here's what Scripture actually says happens after death, step by step. 🧵

You're exhausted.
You're reading more. Praying more. Serving more.
And somehow feeling further from God than ever.
Here's what nobody told you:
Trying harder is not the answer.
Jesus explained the entire secret of the Christian life in one sentence in John 15.
And it has nothing to do with effort.
A thread. 🧵

God told her to stop praying for the dying man.
"Do not intercede for him," He said. "He merits death a thousand times."
She refused.
His name was Andrea. Forty years old, rich, and rotten — a compulsive gambler who blasphemed constantly and hadn't darkened a church door in years.
Then disease struck him down. The doctors gave up.
The priest came to hear his confession. Andrea drove him out. His wife and children brought in holy men to beg him. He refused them all.
He had even thrown an image of Jesus and the Blessed Mother into the fire.
This was a man already halfway into hell.
Then St. Catherine of Siena began to pray for him.
That's when God said something almost no saint has ever heard:
"This man's iniquities have mounted to heaven… Do not intercede for him… he merits death a thousand times."
Stop and let that land. The Lord Himself told her to quit.
Most of us would have closed our eyes and whispered, "Thy will be done."
Catherine threw herself at His feet and prayed harder.
"Am I here to dispute thy justice, or to invoke thy mercy?" she begged. "Repel me not, O most clement Jesus… restore to me my brother."
For hours she wept. God held up the man's crimes. Catherine held up the Cross.
And mercy won.
"My beloved daughter," the Lord finally said, "I suffer myself to be softened by thy tears; I am going to convert him."
At that exact moment — across the city, on his deathbed — Andrea looked up and saw Jesus standing over him.
"Friend, why will you not confess the sins that thou hast committed against me? Confess them, and I am ready to pardon all thy faults."
This blasphemer who had burned His image broke.
"Send quickly for a priest, because I wish to confess," he cried. "I see my Lord and Saviour who is inviting me to do so."
He confessed everything. He died in tears.
Here's what you can't miss.
God never intended to let Andrea die in his sins. From all eternity, He had already decided to save him.
But He decided to save him through and only through the persistent prayers of St. Catherine.
The "no" was never a refusal. It was an invitation.
God did not show mercy immediately, so that Catherine would beg for it, because He had willed from the start that this man's salvation would come through and only through her prayers.
Her persistence didn't change God's mind.
Her persistence was the very means He had chosen to accomplish what He intended all along.
That's how God works. He doesn't usually save souls instead of us. He saves them through us.
There's someone everyone has written off. Their family. Their friends. Maybe even you.
Your prayers may be the one thing God is waiting to use. So don't stop.

What if anything happened to your spouse, or yourself?
Would you be able to hold on to each other? Or would you leave eachother behind "for the best of your family" though you then ruined your whole family, because it‘s convenient for yourself?
Life without God is terrible.
This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21.
The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided.
I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley.
She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained.
Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000.
When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed.
Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism):
50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective.
I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.
The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk.
We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21.
This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast.
You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change.
To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward.
As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.
It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome.
Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

Every day on X i find a new reason why the catholic Curch is akin to the Pharisees
Read your Bible. PLEASE.
May 23
So here's my situation:
- We had a wedding 23 years ago in the Episcopal Church.
- I was Catholic, she was not
- Was assured at the time that the marriage would be "valid, yet irregular"
- She converted to Catholicism 12 years ago
- No one cared or found a problem at Catholic Churches we attended with our marriage which produced four children
- Move to a traditional Church
- Marriage found to be invalid
- Ordered to cease marital relations until marriage can be convalidated.
Am I allowed to kiss my long-term live-in girlfriend?

We are rich in spirit; we must realize this clearly. We must carry this awareness in humility and repentance. This is the only activity which will still help us today and which will save us.
We must be clearly aware of the spirit of the time, our state of mind, and the limit of our capabilities. Only this will protect us from wrong searches, from the false spending of the unfortunate forces we still have, from the heavy crushing weight of our deeds, and from events born of unfulfilled dreams or heroes unfit for our condition.
Our time is no longer characterized by the abundance, the splendor, and the fragrance of early Christian life. Powerlessness and sadness are our portion.
The only thing that can save us is humility, prayer, and sorrow over our weaknesses. We need the most humble and humiliating attitude towards one's life and work, the most gracious and comforting relationship with loved ones, the speechless, grateful acceptance of all that is bestowed upon us, and full hope in God's grace. We must have no trust in our own good deeds, and no expectation of anything special or sublime from ourselves.

Temptations are sent so that hidden passions can be revealed and fought, and that the soul can be healed.

They are also a sign of God’s grace, so put yourself with confidence in God’s hands and ask for His help to strengthen you in your struggle.
Hope in God will never lead to despair. Temptations produce humility.

God knows how much each of us can endure and will allow temptations according to the measure of our strength.
But we must also take care that we are vigilant and attentive and not lead ourselves into temptation.
~Saint Nectarios of Aegina

This was not written by me, but it touched me deeply…
Sunday is coming.
“He received 39 stripes because 40 was known to kill a man. They wanted him alive. They held handfuls of his beard, and hair and pulled it out by the roots. They wanted him alive. They kicked, punched, and spit on him for hours. Until there wasn't a single spot on his body not covered in blood. They wanted him alive.
They shoved a crown of thorns down on his head so harshly it stuck in his skin. They wanted him alive. After hours of being beaten, mocked, whipped, flogged, and tortured they made him walk with a cross. They made him carry it. A rough piece of wood with splinters digging into fresh wounds. They wanted him alive.
They wanted him to feel every ounce of pain they could bring. He had to feel it in order to heal us. Crucifixion was historically one of the cruelest most tortured deaths a human could face. Hours upon hours of torture. Torture most of us can not mentally think of because the cruelty isn't normal. It isn't something our minds can comprehend. We celebrate Easter with pastel colors, happy children hunting eggs, and chocolate. Truth is there was absolutely nothing happy about the day Jesus died. It was cruel, bloody, and nasty.
He could have stopped all of it. He could have called every angel in heaven to demolish every person standing and shouting "Crucify Him!" He didn't. He knew in order to have a Sunday you have to have a Friday. He knew in order to have joy you have to carry your cross. He felt everything that day. He felt how your heart broke wide open when you had to watch your baby die. He felt how heavy your life was when you were staring down the barrel of a gun wondering if the man you called husband was going to shoot you. He carried the weight of the burden you have felt since your spouse died, and life just doesn't seem right since.
On that cross he held the rapist and murderers, the sinner and the saint. He leveled every playing field and said ALL of you are worth it. He knew he had to carry the cross. He never promised the cross you carry in this life would not be heavy. His wasn't. His promise is that Sunday is coming.
No matter how heavy Friday is. Financially, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Friday is heavy. That cross is weighing you down and you are about to crumble under its weight. His promise was simply this. He won't make you carry it alone. What kind of king would step down from his throne for this?
Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of God did. For you. He did every bit of it for you and me. Oh yes, it is heavy. So heavy sometimes you do not think you can take one more step. But look up, because Sunday is coming.”
